It’s a general rule of thumb that if the headline asks a question the article will be a bunch of fluff where the answer ultimately becomes “no”
“Did we just break light speed?” Article talks about an experiment that on first evidence shows information travel faster than light. But then reveals there was a fatal flaw “turns out c is still a universal speed limit”
“Did we just make fusion work?” Again experiment shows that for 2 nano seconds output surpassed input, but it would hold, so “turns out fusion is still in it’s infancy”
Asking a question in the headline is journalistic click bait. Because the answer is no the headline can’t make a claim without loosing integrity, but questions look like claims and allow the author a lot more freedom.
